How to add image field to paragraph programmatically?

Question

I am trying to programmatically add an image field value to a paragraph.

The field value of the image is as below

Array (
  [target_id] => 28
  [alt] => test images
  [title] =>
  [width] => 1440
  [height] => 557
)

This is, how I try to set the image field value:

$paragraph->set('field_image',  $para_array);

The image field is not being set. Where am I going wrong and what will be the way to implement it?

Answer 1

You can treat the field like a PHP array to add (and not replace) an image:

use Drupal\paragraphs\Entity\Paragraph;

  $paragraph = Paragraph::load($paragraph_id);
  $paragraph->field_image[] = [
    'target_id' => $fid,
    'alt' => $alt,
    'title' => $title,
  ];
  $paragraph->save();

Answer 2

Don't set the complete array. You have to just pass target_id to set the image field:

use Drupal\paragraphs\Entity\Paragraph;

$paragraph = Paragraph::load($paragraph_id);
$paragraph->set('field_image',  $para_array['target_id']);
$paragraph->save();

Answer 3

You try the code.

    $images = [
      'target_id' => 1,
      'alt' => '',
      'title' => '',
      'width'=>1440,
      'height'=>557
    ];
    $paragraph = Paragraph::create([
      'type' => 'paragraph_type',
      'field_images' => $images
    ]);
    $paragraph->save();
